Two young Dutchmen own and operate this small hotel and restaurant- Gerwin takes care of the front-of-the-house, and Rogier is the chef/somellier. It was a wonderful six-night experience, in an interesting small town that is within an hour (by car) of just about anything of interest in the Midi. More

The Relais Royal was our first stop in a long vacation over the holidays. We wanted somewhere to relax and recover from the frenzy of New York before Christmas. We could not have asked for a more charming, welcoming, beautifully-appointed hotel than Relais Royal. Generally, I find that you have to make sacrifices when you choose a hotel. If you... More

Spent 2 nights-felt like pat of the family. The hotel and the rooms are charming. Breakfast was superb. Gerwin and Roger are incredible hosts. They have planned their hotel down to the last detail and my daughter and I loved it all. More

We spend a great weekend at relais royal. Rooms, food and service really good so we would love to come back again. More

We arrived at 1 am to a warm welcome from Gerwin, Roger and their dog, Tupee. We were exhausted and their excellent service erased the nightmare of flight delays and missed connections. By the time we finished the glasses of wine and cheese platter that magically materialized on our arrival, the car was parked, our bags were in our room... More

This was (by far) the most impressive Relais & Chateaux property at which we stayed this summer (of 8 in all). Owned and run by two very capable, elegant and friendly Dutch gentlemen, there simply is nothing to criticize. Indeed, everything is done to make a guest happy, including an amazing array of delicacies offered in the lovely rooms on... More
